who's still getting the D300s

[Wurdelak]

Huh? since when the D7000 became better than the D300s:think: Has Nikon gone bongus by doing that?:kok:

that's the big question in my mind as well bro... why would nikon produce a cam that they would declare as an "in between" the D90 and D300s when the specs are on par or should i say a step up from the D300s, then price it lower? :what:

there must be something behind this... :think:

waiting... waiting...

No matter how D300s is still regarded as King of DX, period. D7000 may assume the Queen position anytime. The only notably worthy so called better specs for the D7k would be the wider ISO range of 100 to 6400 (I'll forget about the boost ISO to 25,600), the newer 2016-pixel RGB sensor for white balance, Nikon Multi-CAM 4800DX autofocus module and the higher 16.2mp resolution but this may not be a good thing as sensor size is smaller hence density up up = more noise?

On the other hand, the D300s still has 51 focus points (15 cross-type sensors), 2-9 exposure for AEB, more advance Exposure Metering System, more pro-looking exposure dial:bsmilie:, a Sync Terminal, CF/SD memory cards slots and a remote control using a 10-pin Remote Cord or Wireless Remote Control WT-4 NOT like the D7k still using a toy gadget ML-L3 and not forgeting 7fps speed speed speed :devil:

Good write-up for D300s owners!

We are surely bounded by many choices. I'll go technical if D7000 future owners can spare time viewing the construction of a DSLR. A picture tell a thousands words.

The magnesium alloy body looks like a skeleton. The front portion is mostly plastic structure. You get that because you save money & weight too.

The electronic epuipments price keep on dropping.I think if Nikon still makes new model that the price depend on old model,It will very fast chase up by the competitors.If one day,Korea can make good DSLR,Nikon will gone.

 

[weegk]

more competitors producing good DSLR will be good for us . . .

 

[Legoz]

I am kind of curious, how high ISO is enough???

what do you really need? ISO 1000000?

I personally need ISO 6400

U dont know what you need until you have it..

 

[kentwong81]

The shop at Hill Street selling D300s at $1850???
It's good then we can see more price drops in the B&S Section and the 2nd hand market.
It's great time to enter D300s market now.

Hi Kent, do you by any chance know what shop is it at hill street the previous post was mentioning about?

 

[kentwong81]

I have no idea. But there are many small shops and 2nd hand shops around that area. Funan is also just next to Hill Street too.

In my opinion, Nikon came out with the D7000 is to entice more users over to Nikon.
Giving them like a full range of cameras,
To start off-D3100
A little better-D5000
Mid range-D90
Looking more more punch-D7000
Looking for king of DX-D300s

Of cos FX will be
D700
D3s/x

I'll be spoilt for choices if i had all the money in the world :devil: haha
Looks like Nikon got the DX range fully covered

oh? small shops around hill street area? i haven't come across any during my hunt for the D300s yet. tried doing a search for camera shops in hill street area and all it came up was all the photo shops at funan. do you mean the small shops at peninsula area?

sorry if i'm diverting away from the topic here.

New set ?
wow, very tempting now . . .

 

[kentwong81]

I think need to wait until D7000 arrives in Singapore first to see the price impact on D300 and D300s.
